It seems Ana Ivanovic can't stand the sight of her own inconsistent play these days (how does she think WE feel just watching her - geez.)

But the Serb should be feeling pretty good after snatching up a new coach in the experienced Craig Kardon (who's with her this week) and avenging her shocking Aussie Open third round loss to Alisa Kleybanova in Dubai today. Anadefeated the Russian 7-5, 6-4 and will next face either Ursula Radwanska (who defeated older sis' Agznieszka) or Camille Pin in the next round.

The serve is THE obvious barometer of a baller's confidence and Ana hit 13 aces (yeah!) against 6 double faults (eeks!) in the straight set win. Based on these stats alone, I'd say she's def moving in the right direction and starting to feel good but more work needs to be done.

@ par3182: oh yeah, i couldn't agree more. purple looks great on her but the cut of the dress is unflattering.

nice to know that she finally got her revenge from kleybanova. it seems that she's working well with her new coach. i saw some of the highlights on the wta's official website and it looked like she played well.
